Chapter 976: Chapter 976: March to Question the Fault 3
Jiang Yun said this and paused, giving Ye Qing a glance before continuing, "I clearly remember telling your father, ’Forced melons are not sweet, and we should follow the child’s wishes. If either of the children is unwilling, we should not proceed with this marriage alliance.’ Comrade Ye Qing, I didn’t misremember a single word, did I?"
When it concerned his daughter, Jiang Yun had an especially good memory; had it been anything else, he likely would have forgotten it completely.
"But you also said to wait until they’re twenty!" Ye Qing interjected.
"Twenty? It’s been more than a decade, Comrade Ye Qing, you might not remember clearly what was said back then, but I do." Jiang Yun drew back his finger that was tapping on the table and said seriously, "Here’s exactly what I said, ’If neither child has a partner by the age of twenty, then we’ll try to bring them together to see if they can get along. Whether a marriage fate materializes is up to destiny.’ I never said the children weren’t allowed to find partners before the age of twenty, and that they must wait until then for our families to arrange this marriage!"
A girl can get a marriage certificate at eighteen. No one can guarantee what the future holds, and he wouldn’t leave a loophole in such an important promise that could implicate his daughter’s lifelong happiness.
At this very moment, Jiang Yun felt immensely relieved that he had been cautious back then.
Jiang Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "That’s right, that’s right, Dad said exactly that, I remember! Uncle Li even did a triple high-five with my dad! I’m not yet twenty this year, and I already have my own comrade-in-arms, so I don’t have to wait until I am twenty to follow that agreement and date Li Jun! So, Aunt Ye, Li Jun, don’t try to pin this mess on me!"
So there was this part of the story, thought Feng Qingxue, it’s no wonder Jiang Xiaoyue started dating Li Jun after turning twenty, and why the Li family took for granted that she would be their daughter-in-law, even meddling in her work at the arts troupe.
The so-called arranged marriage had its conditions; Jiang Yun showed the love of a father for his daughter, full of elegance.
In contrast, the Li Family probably already regarded Jiang Xiaoyue as their possession, didn’t they?
Feng Qingxue was assured, but Ye Qing was unhappy, "How can you father and daughter talk like this? Even if I got some minor details wrong, so what? If Xiaoyue isn’t going to be our future daughter-in-law, would I have treated her so well? We think of Xiaoyue as our daughter-in-law, yet you don’t regard Li Jun as your son-in-law at all. How can you be so heartless and ungrateful? What about Li Jun is inferior to that young soldier?"
She pointed angrily at Lu Tianjun, her eyes filled with disdain.
Jiang Xiaoyue said coldly, "Aunt Ye, you are an elder, and I don’t want to speak harshly! If I knew that your kindness towards me was predicated on my marrying Li Jun, then I would rather you not be kind to me at all! Tianjun has nothing to do with the agreement between our families in the past, so please don’t drag him into this and don’t compare him to Li Jun!"
Li Jun and Lu Tianjun were incomparable!
Not as good looking as Lu Tianjun, not as strong as Lu Tianjun, not as talented as Lu Tianjun, not as knowledgeable as Lu Tianjun, not as gracious as Lu Tianjun, and moreover, Li Jun was childish, always mingling with that group of kids from the big compound.
Li Jun wasn’t a bad person; she knew that and had always regarded him as a brother.
But birds of a feather flock together. Could he really remain untainted after mixing with that group for so long?
After all, one is shaped by one’s surroundings!
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyue standing up for him, Lu Tianjun’s eyes revealed a hint of amusement, clearly enjoying the moment.
